Blue by Alain Ducasse at ICONSIAM marks its sixth anniversary with a celebration of vision and flavour
Visited by Alain Ducasse with a commemorative Découverte Menu by Chef Evens López
Blue by Alain Ducasse, the award-winning and Michelin-starred French restaurant at ICONLUXE, 1st Floor, ICONSIAM, celebrates its sixth anniversary this month with a visit by the legendary chef Alain Ducasse. To mark the occasion, Executive Chef Evens López has created a special Découverte Menu, honouring the spirit of creativity, precision, and harmony that have defined the Blue’s journey since its opening in 2019.
Speaking on his return to Bangkok, Alain Ducasse said…
“Blue is a reflection of our philosophy — a cuisine that speaks of excellence and emotion, interpreted with sensitivity by Chef Evens López and his team. Over six years, Blue has grown with grace and authenticity, bringing French contemporary cuisine to life in a way that feels both universal and deeply personal. I am proud to see how the restaurant continues to inspire and delight guests from around the world.
“When I first visited ICONSIAM, I was captivated by its ambition, beauty, and the exceptional location overlooking the Chao Phraya River. I chose ICONSIAM because it embodies the same spirit that defines our cuisine: excellence, innovation, and emotion. It offers the perfect stage to express the art of living that I wish to share with discerning diners in Asia.”
The commemorative Découverte Menu presents a six-course journey that captures the modern essence of French cuisine through Chef López’s distinctive vision. The experience begins with Aubergine Royale with mustard seed and charred vegetal reduction, followed by Bluefin Tuna with watermelon radish, yuzu, and Kristal caviar. The menu continues with Rainbow Courgette and Comté cheese enhanced with walnut praline and blackcurrant sage, and Wild Turbot prepared à la meunière, algae and puffed potato crisps.
A highlight of the savoury courses, Barbarie Duckling lightly smoked, radicchio, currants, and lovage, balances depth and delicacy before leading to the final Delight Collection of desserts: Chocolate Soufflé, Lemon Kaffir Lime and Sake, and Tart Tatin ‘our way’ with vin jaune jus, a fitting finale to a menu that celebrates precision and emotion in equal measure.
In the evening, the celebration continues with a sophisticated canapé presentation featuring an array of refined bites that reflect the restaurant’s artistry and attention to detail. Guests will enjoy creations such as Smoked Trout with bell peppers and yuzu, Scallop with sudachi, finger lime and Kristal caviar, Wagyu beef tartare with shiso and mustard, and Parmesan with Alba white truffle, alongside dessert favourites including Pomelo and coconut and Chocolate with black lemon and peanut.
Reflecting on Blue’s continued success, Supoj Chaiwatsirikul, Managing Director, ICONSIAM Company Limited, said…
“Blue by Alain Ducasse embodies our vision of bringing the best of the world to Thailand. In the six years since its debut, it has become a symbol of ICONSIAM’s commitment to excellence, creativity, and international collaboration.
“We are proud that ICONSIAM is the only shopping mall in Thailand to house a Michelin-starred restaurant — a remarkable milestone that underscores our dedication to elevating Thailand’s dining landscape. The restaurant has not only enhanced Bangkok’s standing as a global dining destination but also deepened our city’s cultural dialogue with the world through the art of gastronomy.”
Since opening its doors at ICONLUXE, ICONSIAM, in November 2019, Blue by Alain Ducasse has been at the forefront of Bangkok’s fine dining scene, earning both local and international acclaim. The restaurant has been awarded one Michelin Star in consecutive years by the Michelin Guide Thailand, ranked among Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, and recognised by Le French Design 100 for its striking interiors and creative excellence.
Now under the direction of Chef Evens López, Blue continues to build on its legacy while exploring new creative horizons. Originally from Peru, Chef López brings a global perspective shaped by years in some of the world’s most respected two and three-Michelin-starred kitchens, including Il Ristorante Trussardi alla Scala in Milan, Pavillon Ledoyen under Yannick Alléno in Paris, Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse at the Hôtel de Paris in Monaco, The Clove Club in London, and Dame de Pic London, where he served as head chef.
Guided by Ducasse’s philosophy and inspired by Thailand’s rich culinary landscape, he crafts dishes that celebrate seasonality, craftsmanship, and emotion. His leadership marks a new chapter for Blue, one that honours the restaurant’s roots while introducing a contemporary, soulful, and globally informed culinary vision.
Food enthusiasts seeking an elevated culinary journey will discover a world of refined flavours and inventive creations awaiting them at Blue by Alain Ducasse, 1st Floor, ICONSIAM.
